I'm just a little chicken. In my weight loss efforts I thinned out the slpice area a bit. That kinda moved the point of the "V" further out by 1/2" or so. If I tiller into that area it will lighten it more and give me a bit more WL. I'm just heading out to the garage now, I'll give it a look.

Sounds like a plan. Its always easy to watch a guinnie pig, not easy to be one. Sometimes, i get frustrated and say f**** it, its either gonna be a damn bow or its gonna break, either way somethings gonna happen and its gonna happen now.

Now that I'm thinking about sinew it makes it tougher because the bow has to be in one piece to sinew.

Have fun :) IDK what to say about sinew. Im not a sinew guy.

congrats on that one,, really nice work,, getting it to shoot so nice,,good save,, I think Sleek was right about how much energy the bow was storing,, and you let it out in a good way,, :OK
